Climate adaptation measures can require substantial investment that can only be secured if there is political buy-in. This session organised by EUROCITIES in the framework of the EU Urban Agenda partnership on climate adaptation, building on a first edition in May 2019, consists in a training designed specifically for local politicians to raise their awareness of adaptation issues.

The training will:

Provide general information on what adaptation means for cities

Raise awareness of the costs of inaction

Inform about the risks of maladaptation

Provide knowledge of the co-benefits of adaptation actions.

The session targets local politicians (Mayors, Deputy Mayors, elected Councillors) from all over Europe.
